This work aims to study the vibration characteristics of a tennis racket by both analytical and experimental approaches. Experimental modal analysis (EMA) and finite element analysis (FEA) are respectively performed to obtain modal parameters of the racket. In FEA, beam elements are used to simulate the string, and solid elements are applied to construct the racket. The natural frequencies and mode shapes can be obtained from theoretical modal analysis and compared with those modal from experiments to validate the analytical modal of the tennis racket. The verified modal will be beneficial to the design of tennis racket. This work not only provides the analytical technique but also enhances understanding of vibration characteristic for tennis racket.
